Book Review 13

I read a book. The name is ‘Wind Power.’ The main place is the Gale Hills Town Hall. The town has the issue. The issue is that a company called Wind Future wants to erect wind turbines in Gale Hills. And they will discuss about wind power. The Mayor of Gale Hills is Sarah. She is chairperson. She introduces two people. Dave is from Wind Future. Wind Future wants to set wind turbines and generate electronic power. Eva is from P.A.W.T-People Against Wind Turbines. And they present their points of view. I read their presentation. And I could know that wind power. Wind power is created by wind turbines. The blades of the turbine are powered by the wind, and when the blades turn, they power a generator that is inside the turbine. This generator creates electricity. There are more than 35000 wind turbines around the world. Wind power is a clean form of energy. The more wind power we use, the less we need to use other energy sources, like coal. Using coal to produce electricity aerates a lot of greenhouse gases. And the wind turbines will attract tourists to the town. These people will spend money in local businesses. But wind turbines destroy the landscape. The town has a beautiful landscape with unspoiled hills. And wind turbines are noisy. The town has the amount of wind. So the wind turbines are going to be very noisy. And birds and bats might fly into the blades and be killed. I thought the wind power issue is very hard problem. Wind power has good points and bad points. I want to know the town’s conclusion. In Japan, there are such problems. For example, dam problems and nuclear power plant problems. It is important for us to do talk such town. (300words)
